French workers started a national strike today which is likely to disrupt flights between France and the UK.

Flights to other destinations might also be affected so passengers should check the status of their flights before leaving for the airport.

French workers are striking in protest to government plans to raise the retirement age and increase employee contributions. The strike is expected to last until 5am on Wednesday.

Eurostar services to and from France should continue as normal, however passengers might not be able to connect to or from other train services within France. In this case, Eurostar are giving passengers the opportunity to postpone their journey and exchange tickets.
